Welcome back for another Sunday addition to the recurring series “Take Me to Church”. Today's episode covers Genesis Chapter 12, “The Introduction of Abram.” In this series I focus on capturing the spiritual experience of going to church on Sunday in a podcast format without the restrictive structure found in most traditional churches. My aim is to encourage the principles of critical thinking and free thought while dealing with religious texts and stories.The lack of “rules” regarding what can and cannot be talked about or believe in is the primary point of these weekly episodes. I want to provide anyone who is curious an opportunity to engage with religious texts and concepts without the preconceived notions which force certain interpretations on prospective believers. Another goal with this show is to more fully unify religions from different traditions through engaging with them in the same space. Join me every Sunday for the special series “Take Me to Church”, enjoy!

Lots of Love <3

Welcome back for a Sunday episode of the pod! I have found, over the course of my awakening that church is not a building or certain religious tradition but an intellectual and spiritual space in which we acknowledge our own ignorance and actively search for wisdom. This space can be created anywhere, requiring only an authentic desire to learn in order to flourish. In this episode we do some intellectual and spiritual exploration. We talk in depth about the Dead Sea Scrolls, The Book of Enoch, Genesis Chapters 1 & 2 and the possibility that creation stories from around the world are not competitors but different traditions describing the same thing.

Lots of Love <3

Well that was exciting! With the 2024 presidential election results settled I am struck by a lingering feeling. The excitement of seeing populism flourish is overwhelming but there is another feeling hiding underneath the surface, a subtle heaviness that lingers after the celebration ceases. In this episode I attempt to analyse this feeling in myself and enunciate the reason it is there. Later in the show I break down the flaws inside the modern liberal political movement and attempt to speak directly to anyone who considers themselves liberal politically, pleading to rationality and the development of faith through loss.

Lots of Love <3

Losing someone you love is one the great terrors of life. We often avoid thinking about the day when we will have to say goodbye. That is why it is important to let yourself feel when that day does come because through the grieving process a truth of the universe is revealed. The conservation of energy, the changing of one form to the next is expressed in subtle ways that go unnoticed when we numb ourselves. Don't numb yourself!

Switching gears rather abruptly I talk about the upcoming 2024 election and its ramifications. The choice has never been so stark, yet what that choice is, remains obscured for many. I attempt to annunciate it clearly for myself and anyone else who listens. God Bless America!

Lots of Love <3
